I believe art has the potential to enhance scientific understanding for both a general and research audience! Here are scientific illustrations I have made for use in my own research presentations.
The human brain.
The mouse brain.
A microglia, the immune cell of the brain.
Lab mouse.
Lab mouse with a shadow to indicate brain issues (specifically, amyloid/Alzheimer's disease pathology).
Lab mouse with a shadow on the lungs to indicate a pneumonia infection.
Lab mouse with shadow on the intestines to indicate an abdominal infection.
My model of synaptic pruning during infection, which could ultimately lead to missing connections between circuits and dysregulated brain function.
The Elevated Zero Maze (EZM), a test of anxiety-like behavior in mice.
Fear Conditioning, a test of learning and memory in mice.
Flow cytometry, a technique to identify characteristics of cells.
Different versions of microglia, the immune cells of the brain, demonstrating how these cells change shape.
